	As per discussion late at night pre-SWR (verse 4, line 2 is particularly important): we should have a song... "Oh SOL's most realistic, the others don't compare, Our polars act like real boats, our weather isn't square, so come and join a friendly bunch, we'll sail around the gloooooobe! learn to nav'gate, read the shifts, engage your frontaaaaal lobe." "If you're going to sail with us you'll have to take your lumps, look out for sneaky islands and make sure to hop the humps. Almost guaranteed that accidental gybes you'll see! you'll learn to pause before you click you'll triple-cheeeeeeck DC" "Solers are light sleepers we wake in the early morn. It's not our fault it's NOAA's, thus we deflect spousal scorn. Each update makes us nervous, must plan for uncertaintyyyyyy, good luck to those who'd pry us from a Volvo 70" "Whether you like routing or you sail SOTP, join us please in sailing and composing silly chants. And to those who fear for you, they mustn't shed a tear, you're not lost for evermore, it's only half the year" half-the-year refers only to SWR, SOL may be habit forming, talk to your doctor if you experience motion sickness, social withdrawal, insomnia, muttering pirate lingo, limericks, walking "smooth", "shifty" behaviour, hogging the "covers", tackiness, cursing "teedoubleyouays", nervous giggles --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2011-11-05 15:37:17 ---

	"SOL believes in fairness we all sail with the same gear, you won't pay more for sails or for better ways to steer. The wind's the same for all of us (might have to hit "refresh"). Odds are good we'd buy you beer if you met us in the flesh. If you see a course whose intention you can't discern, be sure to ask us questions SOL is a great place to learn! Perhaps you have a meeting or you find last minute that you need some help to stay offshore just ask for help in chat. Although the competition's tough we'll always lend a hand, it pains us all quite greatly for a boat to hit the sand. Soon you'll see that foremost SOL is a most friendly crowd, So join as we sail the seas and sing a song out loud!" --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2011-11-10 02:02:29 ---

	"We're used to sailing solo, off the continental shelf, but have you ever felt that you are talking to yourself? SOL's a great collective help compose our battle cry! Find some funny rhymes and add some verses don't be shy!" --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2011-11-18 15:05:43 ---

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
